Quotes from Vietnamese artist profiled in the museum Nguyen Gia Tri (1908-1993):
1986: "Beauty itself is the thing that records the trace of one's soul on the painting.
Therefore, the development and the change of beauty originates from one's heart which constitutes a source."
1988: "One lives exactly in the same way with the way one performs art.
God and eggshell, earth powder have a same value."
"The secret of art consists of never doing anything intentionally."
1989: "Art and beauty contain everything within them: thought, philosophy, religion, etc."
